The Salt and Wood Cuvee du Moor from North End Brewing is a captivating Quadrupel/Abt-style wild ale that showcases a harmonious blend of flavors. With an impressive 13.3% alcohol by volume, this beer boasts a hazy golden-amber color and a thin, quickly dissipating white head. The aroma is complex and enticing, offering notes of sour cherries, orange peel, brine, oak, and a hint of salinity. The taste follows suit, with an initial tart and balanced profile that gives way to a symphony of flavors. The sour cherry and orange peel notes are complemented by a touch of salinity, followed by oaky undertones and a subtle earthiness. The finish is crisp and refreshing, leaving a lingering hint of salt and wood. The medium-bodied mouthfeel is enhanced by a lively, effervescent carbonation that creates a pleasant tingling sensation on the tongue. This unique and captivating wild ale marries the acidity of fruit with the umami of sea salt and the richness of oak, resulting in a complex and harmonious beer that offers a remarkable sensory experience. It's a perfect choice for those who enjoy the interplay of sour, salty, and woody flavors.
